Information
As soon as you apply a DCB policy with PFC enabled on an interface, DCBX starts exchanging
information with PFC-enabled peers. The IEEE802.1Qbb, CEE, and CIN versions of PFC TLV are
supported. DCBX also validates PFC configurations received in TLVs from peer devices.
By applying a DCB input policy with PFC enabled, you enable PFC operation on ingress port traffic.
To achieve complete lossless handling of traffic, you must also enable PFC on all DCB egress ports or
configure the dot1p priority-queue assignment of PFC priorities to lossless queues (see pfc no-drop
queues).
To remove a DCB input policy, including the PFC configuration it contains, enter the no dcb-input
policy-name
command in interface configuration mode.
